About St Peter's CofE Primary School

St Peter's CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in the West Sussex local authority, serving 106 pupils aged 4 to 11 in the Mid Sussex area. It is one of 226 primary schools in the county, and its ranking among them places it in the bottom half of the LA table. The top-performing peers in the same authority — Barns Green Primary School, Heron Way Primary School, and Aldingbourne Primary School — all achieved significantly higher ranking scores, which gives a sense of the competitive local landscape. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Lindfield Primary Academy, 4.6 km away. St Peter's itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2019, and an ungraded inspection in December 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 36 applications for 19 places and 15 first-preference offers, suggesting strong local demand despite its middling academic rank.
